Read excerpt
Over the past century, average lifespan in Western countries has grown by about 30 years. The years we spend in good health have not kept pace. In this episode of The Mind–Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Dr. Jamie Justice, Executive Vice President of the Health Domain at the XPRIZE Foundation and Executive Director of XPRIZE Healthspan, a $101 million, seven-year global competition to find therapies that restore muscle, cognitive, and immune function in older adults.

What Is The Mayer Model? with Emeran Mayer, MD | MGC Ep. 125 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After 45 years of research on how the brain and the gut communicate, the question Dr. Emeran Mayer hears most often is not about mechanisms or studies. It is much simpler than that.

In this episode of The Mind-Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Dr. Erin Mauney, a pediatric gastroenterologist and researcher at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital, who has completed one of the first clinical trials of psilocybin-assisted therapy for patients with treatment
Does Your Daily Probiotic Actually Work, or Is It Just Hype? with Kiran Krishnan, PhD | MGC Ep. 122 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
